Hi Timothy, I am the Globe reporter who wrote to you fellow inmates about the water concerns at MCI-Norfolk. I would be eager to speak to you or them asap. I would appreciate if you could call me collect as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Hi David! Thanks for responding to my post. I will be using this information periodically over the next couple years as I write papers for my masters in phycology. I was taking a class on human interaction but I am now finished with this course. I am sure this information will still be useful in future classes so thank you! I really loved your responses and I am glad you responded so candidly and honestly. Now that you answered my questions I will be happy to answer yours. "Where am I from?" I am from central Florida and I am getting my masters in phycology from the college of central florida. "How do I deal with missing men?" I deal with missing men the same way that you deal with missing women :) by the way I am glad that you find time and a place to get rid of your "pressure" because that is healthy. A lot of men who I have blogged with on here in prison say they get punished if they were to be caught doing that and I think that is wrong. Is that the same with you? This is part of human nature and is healthy thing to do to remove stress. I know I have to do it occasionally too to not be stressed ;) What about porno magazines? Can you have fully nude magazines? Does any contraband of this sort happen to get into prison if so? I might look further into this topic in future classes. Sorry,lol I got distracted thinking about your "pressure". haha. Wish I could help ;) "What makes me tick...?" Wow that is a very inclusive question. I guess curiosity would be my overarching categorical answer for what makes me tick. I also just like to have a good time. We can definitely be future pen pals on here if you would like. I found some pen pal questions on a random website and we can start by answering them if you would like. Just so you know i'm super blunt and i'm not afraid to talk about taboo topics. haha.

What is the thing you would most like to begin?
What single word describes you?
What is the strongest craving you get?
What's the best hiding place you know?
What would you find hardest about being in prison?
What is the best place to touch, and to be touched?
Do you like or dislike sleeping in the nude? lol

Ask me anything. lol Try to send a picture with your next blog post.

Hello Donald. I read your blog posts and really enjoyed them. My name is Alyssa and I am asking a few people on the betweenthebars.org blogs some questions for my own research and was wondering if you would answer them if you felt like it. What are ways that some men deal with missing women in prison? Do you think men change not being around women? If so in what ways? How do you think this affects them when they are released? How do men deal with their "needs"? Do you think men become more reserved or dont know how to deal with a womens "touch" when released? ;) I just want to hear your input on this out of curiosity. Speak your mind. You don’t have to hold back. Nothing will offend me. Haha. I would love to maybe see a blog post about this too. Thank you. Hope to hear back soon:)

I would love to see you post more blogs often as well!

We need current posts, even of its only an update on you

Great poem......I can't speak for others who follow and support you but as for me I'm confused and to be honest sad. All of your recent posts are from years ago, it's as if you've now just quit.....getting ready to get out is fantastic, all of us are happy for you, but it's like you've abandoned me, us.....no mail from you since march...no calls.....this is not the Tim I've known for years now.......

I see the progress you are making and am so proud of you.It isn't easy changing when you have had a wall built around yourself so as not to get hurt. Vulnerability is a scary thing even for those who have their heads on straight as we all have areas we are afraid to travel. you have had many years building that safety barrier and it won't be easy to tear it down. Just take it slow working one area at a time and IT WILL HAPPEN. Best of luck and many prayers going forth to help you in your journey

Ok awesome I would love to send a picture of his brother to him. I know that would make it a little better for him since his passing.

Hi Kelly, I spoke to him yesterday and he was put back in general population. He can have pictures! I think they only deny pics that are deemed inappropriate or have stickers or tape on them.

Hey melanie, not sure if he will still be in the hole when I send his letter but I want to send a picture to him. Can he have it or will they throw it out?

Why all these old posts????
You've not only gone silent in the mail but now through your blog?
